Nominated IHF
Catherston Liberator has been nominated to the International Hunter Futurity program
this year (2008). If you are interested in a stallion, but would want to support either the
IHF or the IJF/IDF, please let me know and I will nominate the stallion. Thanks!

VIDEOS ON YouTube
The stallion videos are now up on YouTube...just follow the stallion videos link on the list
at left, and then follow the directions with the YouTube link. All of the stallions for whom I
have a video are on YouTube. The videos are also available on DVD...just call me or
send an email and I'll send you one.

NEW STALLION
We're excited to announce that we're now the agent for the fantastic colored stallion,
Utah Van Erpekom! He's easily the most successful colored stallion in the world, having
won at International level several times in 2007 with rider John Whitaker, including wins in
Brazil and Spain. Please take a look at his page, and his UK website. There is very
limited availability for this stallion (10 doses total for 2008), so if you are interested don't
wait around!

LEADING MARE AWARD at HITS Ocala
We are thrilled to announce that we have sponsored an award in conjunction with the
$100,000 Deluca Toyota Tundra Grand Prix, which will be held on March 16, 2008 at
HITS Ocala. The award will be issued to the high point mare, who will receive a free
embryo transfer. The winner was Patoile, ridden by David Beisel, who finished in 3rd
place overall (and won the $25,000 Grand Prix the previous Thursday). We're looking
forward to continuing this program in 2009. For more information about this award, click
here.

PRICING
I have updated the 2008 Price List, dropping some prices to boost the sales/reduce the
storage amounts for some of the stallions. Please check the list, as there are some great
buys. If you are interested in a stallion, please give me a call as concessions are
available for many of the stallions, depending upon the mare.

______________________________________________________________________
PLEASE do NOT use the names of British stud farms in the names of your US foals
without permission. These stud farms have spent years developing a reputation and
have their names licensed for exclusive use overseas. If you want to use the name
"Catherston", "Welton", or "Stanhopes" in your foal's name, PLEASE ask permission from
the stud farm in the UK before formalizing a name. Would you want someone using your
farm name to advertise their horses without your permission?

Registry Information
Many of out stallions are eligible for annual licensing here in the US (to various
registries, such as the AWR, AHHA, ATA, etc.), but haven't been activated for 2008
because we do not want to put money into a registry if the mare owners aren't supporting
it! However, if you want to register a foal with the AWR, for example, we are willing to pay
the 2008 licensing fee... we just don't want to pay it and then not have anyone register. If
you have any questions, please call or email. Similarly, if you are interested in IHF or IJF
nominations, please ask, as we are willing to nominate any of the stallions to futurity
programs.

Stallions other than those we represent are also stored at our facility.
Dark Stranger is a bay Connemara stallion. His semen is stored here and available
through the UK website. We also have semen stored for Magic Darco, a wonderful son
of Darco who originally was a showjumping stallion in England but who was imported and
gelded, and is currently competing very successfully in the Regular Working Hunters in
Zone 4. The fantastic pony stallion Strinesdale Matador is no longer marketed by us;
interested breeders need to contact his owner, Elizabeth Mansfield, to purchase semen
directly from her (email elizmansfield@onetel.com).
